This a plea to pro-gun members of TPG. One of your number, JohnJohnsn,

There are  four issues that have him totally stumped.

The first and most serious is that he claims that guns are not the
overwhelming choice of how US murderers kill their victims. Somehow
he's come up with a figure of 40% of US murders being committed using
guns. Despite the fact that that alone would probably meet the
definition of overwhelmingly most popular method, the real figure is
actually 69%, according to the CDC (2007). Everybody, except
JohnJohnsn it seems, is aware of this. Could someone please elucidate
him.

In 2007, the most recent year for which I could find numbers

We're not talking about what YOU found. Try to stay focused.


Semi-automatic weapons, such as the AK47 are perfectly legal in the
United
States. Fully automatic weapons are not. Source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_the_AK-47#In_the_United_States

The source is wrong, just like you. A fully automatic AK-47 is
PERFECTLY legal to own.

Holy CRAP you people are ignorant! Why do you even COME to tpg
pretending to know ANYTHING about guns?
